I’m no “boss” and the association is not a union!
Here’s how successful the union busters have been in terms of winning hearts and minds – all they have to do is say the word “union” and pretty much everyone ducks for cover. In Costa Mesa, California, the head of the Costa Mesa Police Officers Association recently wrote an opinion piece in the local paper saying that he’s not a boss of anything and that the CMPOA is definitely not a union and has no connection to groups like the Teamsters or AFL-CIO. Here’s a question: Why isn’t anyone at the American Conservative Union worried about using the term union in the title but a police association wants to make clear that they have nothing to do with unions?
